One great way to deal with the heat and the stress is to drive around in the back of a pickup truck and yell at prom kids (which we did).

The theme of this beautiful event was Rainy London, even though it didn't rain at all the style was perfect!

Keith and Rael sent me over a bunch of styles they really wanted me to capture for their day and I was excited to see that the processing of the images really mattered to them!

I even used Nik software's Snapseed App right on the Ipad AT THE WEDDING to show them some of the awesome images we had created together!

Yep, whipped out the ol' Ipad uploaded the coolest images, processed them right there and handed it over to the newly weds to see at the reception!

And took a deserved break for a cold one.

The speeches were jaw dropping. I can't repeat them, but they were truly noteworthy!

Just when the dancing is winding down and the party is mellowing at most weddings...

This amazing team kicked it up 14 notches and made the proverbial plunge in to a literal fact and jumped into lake Lindsay!

Once the socks were wrung out it was on to an all night dance-a-thon!

Seriously, Keith and Rael, you guys are the greatest! Thank you for letting Eric Cameron and I be there! Sure a truck almost crushed all my stuff and it was hot as heck, but we all lived, the photos are stunning, you two are married and we all have AMAZING stories to tell about the day!

Jaskon Lykins and I escorted the lovely Dawn, toting lenses and strobes all over beautiful Alms Park in Cincinnati to put on our Advanced Strobe Lighting Workshop.

We tested out hundreds of ideas and processing flows, though we did lean toward dark and creepy at the end.

This workshop is geared towards people who know all about portrait lighting but wants to take it to the next level with gels, shadows, 3 - 4 - or 5 point portable speedlight lighting, and practical combinations!

Everything from sun as a second light...

To adding an extra element to your surroundings!

No light here, I just love this photo :)

Raw single dramatic light!

Individual results may vary, but it sure is easier when you know how to create the images in your mind!
